Beats Wireless Headphones

[BrokenQuill92]

So I am about to go back to school next month. As you guys know just about all my tech has Bluetooth capabilities. I've heard a LOT about Beats by Dr Dre. I've read the reviews. And because even for a rational human I think I'd rather hear from some others what they think. Are they really overpriced and shoddy with too much bass? Or do the hipsters need to stfu? Also suggestions for better brands are welcome.

It is impossible to have too much bass.

They're good but they're only a hot item because of their marketing campaign. I don't think they are any better than their cheaper competitors. Nothing special to me. Now those gamer headphones, well that's a whole different story...

Well first of all I need to know what do you mean by 'headphones'. Are you talking about any kind of device (in this case wireless) that will play music into your ear? Or are you talking about the bigger (excluding the small earbuds, earphones, etc.) ones?

I've never used wireless headphones, however I can make my personal recommendation. I'm a huge music fan and I've worn different kinds of headphones throughout my still short life. In terms of quality/price relation, I usually go with sony, I tend to pick the smaller earphones that can be inserted directly into your ear canal, the sound gets very good. If you can afford something more expensive, go with bose.

Since I bough my 7th generation Ipod nano I've used the ipod earphones that came with the package, I was astonished when I noticed that, unlike the previous apple earphones that came with apple devices, these were pretty good and so I decided to keep them for personal use, they haven't broken yet (it's been 6 months). I also keep the sony ones around just in case.

I have some Sennheiser MM450's and the sound is very good, not as good as the wired obviously but very acceptable and they also have noise cancelling. I'd give them an 8 out of 10.

Tested out some MM450s and I liked a lot.

Are they really by Dr Dre? He never seemed like much of a technical wizard to me. A bit like George Forman and that grill.

Considering you can buy knock off beats for a quarter of the price and they are exactly the same, I wouldn't advise buying the 'real' product. Not that I'm condoning buying knock offs or anything...
